Who was that racoon-eyed woman on Morning Joe today blaming econ collapse on unions
and then telling the congressman from PA that pointing fingers at the investor class was class warfare?

1. It was probably Maria, aka "the Money Honey"
I didn't see the part you refer to, but I saw her make similarly odious remarks later on in the show.

2. I wonder if she understands the irony of accusing fingerpointing
at investors as class warfare and doesn't realize blaming unions, composed of mainly blue collar workers, is exactly the same thing?

3. Nor did she seem to understand that not every investor is a "shower before work" -type.
Or that those poor hedge fund managers who went bankrupt (the ones who used to take her out to lunch) were playing with other people's money.

6. Heh, I've seen times on that show when Maria looks like she didn't shower before work.
She once went on the show looking like she'd just rolled out of bed after a hard night of partying.

I turned off MJ today when I heard she was coming up next...time to go on DU for me!

that the rich must never lose on their risks, but the union workers' contracts can be destroyed at will.

What a fugging asshole.

8. She's either awfully thick skulled or something got her nose out of joint.
After months of analysis I think we all accept that investing in thin air had much to do with the problem.

7. She conveniently forgets that our laws were changed already to give
the greedsters license to loot in the first place. Someone should inform her about the changes to our laws for the last couple of decades.

9. PAthetic CNBC witch....
She was incredible. Arguing that the unions caused the recession. The PA congressman ripped her apart. These people have no shame, none. It amazes me someone like her can even keep employment.

Obviously another Kudlow and Cramer tool. She is nasty looking though, ewww!

10. Oh it was rich to hear the Money Junkie demanding a guaranteed return for investors ...
and yet act like guaranteeing jobs and pensions was ..... "unheard of"!!!!! It's only unheard of since Reagan. My dad and uncles worked for the same companies their entire working lives -- and got their pensions -- but this has became an "unheard of" situation to people like Maria. Money Honey my ass -- she looked like the Money Junkie this morning.
